3.0 on Ubuntu using packages - can't start proxy per documentation

[mmacpuguy]

According to the documentation here:

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.2/manual/concepts/proxy

"Zabbix proxy runs as a daemon process. The proxy can be started by executing:

shell> cd sbin
shell> ./zabbix_proxy"


No zabbix_proxy in sbin

Does anyone know about creating a zabbix proxy from the Ubuntu packages?

Please check your /usr/sbin directory.

Hi,

To install zabbix_proxy from packages on Ubuntu you can use these commands in Shell:

# wget http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.0/ub...trusty_all.deb
# dpkg -i zabbix-release_3.0-1+trusty_all.deb
# apt-get install zabbix-agent zabbix-proxy

Remember that you need separate DB for your Proxy
There is good documentation in zabbix.com - https://www.zabbix.com/documentation..._from_packages and https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...all/db_scripts

Please check your /usr/sbin directory.

Not there. zabbix_server and zabbix_agent are there though.

Thanks though.

The sighted documentation I can't agree is good.

Following the install link and as you quoted fails when I get to the "apt-get install zabbix-agent" telling me it's unable to locate the package zabbix-proxy

The database creation scripts don't work for 3.0 in the documentation, but they do for 2.4

Thanks though.

Thanks though.

If there is no zabbix_proxy in that directory, Zabbix proxy is not installed.
Please install the Zabbix proxy.

# apt-get install zabbix-proxy-mysql

So can anybody give us the detailed steps required (beginning to end) to install zabbix proxy on a fresh Ubuntu install?
